your platoon picked up

My father decided
to take her prisoner

executing her.
Soon after, the girl ended up
detonating a body bomb,
wiping out
half your platoon.
After which,
you executed my father
for his gross error
in judgment.
But rather than having
an android do it,
you did him the honor
of shooting him yourself.

grateful, sir.
